Anyone have any experience with a Myers sewage ejector pump? We're finally going to replace the below-listed dayton pump and float. They're pretty pricey, but I'm really wondering if it's a good one. Thanks.
We have a dayton simplex sewage system (3xa92) less than one year old that has failed repeatedly since it's installation. We've isolated the problem we think -- the float fails to kick the pump on. We've removed the lid from the pit and watched what happens (this after we thought the float was getting hung up on something). The float is not hung up on anything, has about 5-6 inches of cable (too much??), but just fails to activate the pump. Any ideas? Sometimes the float kicks the pump on when the float's at a 45 degree angle, and last night it was completely vertical and didn't kick the pump on. The pump is good - works without the float fine. This thing fails about once per week and I now need to babysit it for every load of laundry I do - fails about every 5 or 6 loads- and I must say I have much more to do with my very limited free time. The pit is set up to accommodate laundry, toilet (not being used as of yet), shower (not used yet) and sink. I need to resolve this issue before I put expensive carpeting down the basement. Please help. Can the float, the switch (or whatever activates the thing), or cable be bad. At this point I'm leaning to just replacing this very expensive item just for piece of mind, but I thought I'd ask you all first. Thanks so much; we're at wits end!
